T.B. has gone senile. He used to be a businessman. He seems to have forgotten what it means to compete. How is a factory that only produces when the wind blows going to compete with a factory that is working two full shifts? The answer; It doesn’t and can’t.
If wind power is so great, why did steam powered ships replace windpowered ships? Maybe because a guy that could get his goods to market on a regular and timely basis has an economic advantage of one who has to wait for the wind to blow or the sun to shine. But wait, that isn’t the socialist way, it can’t be true.
Tell me Mr. Pickens, when the breeze falls off and the factory has no ‘tricity, do you send the workers home? But wait, you can’t do that, how will those workers buy anything is they don’t get thir paychecks? Mayb we can go to full monte Socialism, you know, where the workers pretend to work and the state pretends to pay them.
If we do that, we won’t need no stinkin businessmen, nor rich, crooked OIL men either. Nationalize the OIL industry and let all the tired, senile, old men like you retire. After the Government takes everything you own, of course.
T.B. must have been listening to Ohhhhh……BAAMA. From the empty suit to the empty head.
Drill babe`, DRILL.
